The whole solution in a nutshell 

Industry Professional Chamber / Professional Organization 
Technology Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Opium platform 
Result: Secure digital elections and hybrid voting 

The Slovak Bar Association (SAK) needed to ensure reliable, secure, and transparent elections and voting during the 2025 Advocates' Conference – for both physically present participants and those joining online. 

The goal was to create a solution that could handle high demands for the identity, anonymity, and trustworthiness of the process, while also being easy to use without the need for installing additional applications. 

Facts in numbers 

Users: more than 7,000 lawyers 

Model hybrid (in-person + online) 

Authentication: process-controlled two-factor 

Platform Microsoft 365 / SharePoint Online / Blockchain 

Results: available in real-time 

Solution 

Before SAK, we set up a complete digital election and voting system, from secure login and anonymous voting to automatic result evaluation. We secured voting through an online portal and our on-site hardware kiosks. 

The solution allowed for: 

• individual verification of each voter's identity, 
• anonymous voting in bodies from online or from kiosks, 
• anonymous voting on regulations via an app or voting devices, 
• the same comfort for online and in-person participants, 
• immediate availability of results without manual processing. 

Technology 

The entire solution is built on SharePoint Online as part of Microsoft 365, which ensures identity, process, and data management. The advantage is that the system doesn't remain a one-off solution, but can also be further used for internal decision-making or voting within the chamber. 

Result 

Digital elections for the Slovak Bar Association proceeded without outages or technical problems, with a high level of security and transparency in a hybrid format accessible to lawyers from anywhere. 

The project confirmed that even sensitive and formal processes in professional chambers can be implemented digitally, simply, and reliably, provided the technology is properly designed.
